How do you find the tire size on your vehicle?

There are a few ways to find your vehicle's tire size. You can look on the tire sidewall (see image to the right), look in your vehicle's owner's manual or the vehicle placard (typically found inside the driver's side door). The numbers in the tire size represent the cross section, aspect ratio and rim size.

Still not sure which size to pick? Contact a Firestone Complete Auto Care expert nearest you.

Standard/Optional Sizes

Mileage Warranty

All tires are covered by our triple guarantee

This guarantee extends to the Customer, within thirty (30)
days after the date of purchase, a refund of 200% of the difference between a
current locally-advertised lower price on an identical tire and the price of a
tire purchased from a Firestone Complete Auto Care store. Customer must provide
a current local advertisement. This guarantee excludes clearances, closeouts and
catalogs. This refund is not to be combined with any other offer or used to reduce
outstanding debt.

We promise that the services we perform will be fixed right
the first time. If the automotive repair or service was performed improperly,
then we will re-perform the service at no additional charge to you, during the
established warranty period.

We value your time. If your vehicle is not ready at the time
we promised, we will offer a 10% discount on your next purchase (discount cannot
exceed $25.00) which is valid at any company-owned Firestone Complete Auto Care
Store. The subsequent second visit must occur within one year of the original
service. This discount can not be used to reduce outstanding debt.

NOTE: Verification of the vehicle’s rim size must be completed if the vehicle model is available in one or more
O.E. rim width options or if the vehicle is currently equipped with non-original equipment rims.
Original equipment sizes are based on the best information currently available to us. Variations based on options or changes by the manufacturer may change the original equipment size on your vehicle. Please verify the size listed matches the tire size listed on your vehicle (usually found in the door jamb) or in the Owner’s Manual. Replacement of tires with a speed rating less than the original equipment tires may reduce performance and handling.
NOTE: We make every effort to ensure that the following search results are up-to-date and accurately presented. Some variables, including vehicle modifications, “Plus Size” fitments or search menu selection errors, may result in incorrect data.
If you have any questions regarding the correct product for your vehicle, please contact a Customer Service Advisor at your local store who will assist you in selecting the correct size.
NOTE: Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle mobility. The use of winter tires while improving traction performance in snow and ice — requires special care with regard to acceleration, braking, cornering and speed. It is important to drive with care, not only on snow and ice, but on dry and wet roads as well.
In winter driving conditions, vehicle control — and safe operation — under braking and cornering is especially dependent upon the rear tires. For this reason, winter tires are best applied to all wheel positions.
Some vehicles have specific recommendations regarding winter tires and their usage; always check and follow the vehicle tire placard and/or the vehicle owner’s manual.

Winter tires are best applied to all wheel positions.

If winter tires are applied to the front axle of any vehicle, they must also be installed on the rear. Do not apply winter tires to only the front axle — this applies to all passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks, including front wheel drive, 4X4 and all-wheel drive vehicles.

If winter tires are applied to the rear axle of any vehicle, it is recommended (but not required) that they be installed on the front axle.

All winter tires applied should be the same speed rating. It is generally acceptable to apply winter tires with a lower speed rating than the Original Equipment/All Season tires for use in winter conditions; however, speed should be reduced accordingly. Vehicles should never exceed the “top speed” of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Otherwise, tire failure could result.

Winter tires operated in summer conditions may wear rapidly.

Studded tires, where legally allowed, follow the same recommendations above.
